Celtic Astrology + Trees = You?

Happy Monday LOVEanese! T-minus 4 more days until the weekend!

I want this to be just a quick post. Remember those stupid e-mail forwards from our friends we used to get in middle school (back before the days of Facebook, MySpace, and spam filters)? Well, I have to guiltily admit that there is one I actually really liked, and kept ever since early 2001. I want to share it with you and see how accurate you it is. Basically, it's a different kind of personality profile based on Celtic astrology (kind of like the star astrology we know of (e.g., Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, etc.). It involves the Celts.

You know, like this guy.

Now I KNOW it isn't scientific, but when I started looking into it, there's a lot of interesting books out there detailing Celtic mythology and astrology (which is closely connected to the Celtic Calendar). These books all talk about Celtic mythology: this one, this one, and this one. Moreover, there's a lot about Celtic tree astrology. Unfortunately, I couldn't find more on this in my short search for more substantial and referenced sources. But, just like with the astrology we all know, it's just a fun thing to think about.

I don't know how accurate it is, per se, but it is a bit environmentally-friendly, and I'm curious to see how the descriptions of each of these fits you. Bear in mind that these are general overviews, and specific qualities or traits it describes may not describe you in general, but perhaps might describe a certain aspect of yourself/your personality (e.g., if it says you are not flexible, but you are, then think of it in other ways. Maybe your ethics, morals, or value-system are not flexible, etc.).

What's your tree? Tell me if you like it (I think mine is spot on):

  3. I AM a Fig Tree (although I don't like figs). Not sure about the "enjoys children" bit, but the laziness after long work hours bit is spot on!

  4. Haha thanks for reading! You don't have to like figs to be a fig tree :P

    But obviously this isn't a 100% perfect profile of you, although maybe it's something that will change. Perhaps in 10 years you'll like children more (PERHAPS!)
